With choices like the BOZ Kraut Dog, the BOZ Nacho Dog, and the BOZ Chili Cheese, BOZ Hot Dogs has officially entered royal hotdog status - it beat out the ballparks. Their menu is concise: the dogs, some sides, a few desserts, a few sandwiches and drinks. But don't let this fool you; the size and sheer power of their dogs is more than enough to satisfy. The most popular pick? Manager Nancy Kennedy recommends trying the classic BOZ Hot Dog with any combination of their extra condiments. Load the dog up with your choice of catsup, mustard, relish, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers.

QUOTE: It's a quality dog plus all of the condiments we put on it. The quality is certainly not the same that you'd get in a grocery store.-Nancy Kennedy, Manager of all the different locations
